Early Islam

$3.50

Early Islam (5thCentury A.D. – 8thCentury A.D.): the main theme of this postcard is the rise and spread of Islam. This period starts with events prior to Islam and ends with the fall of the Umayyad Dynasty. The colour green is chosen for obvious reason, since green is usually used to portray Islam while the images of Kaaba from an Ottoman manuscript and early kufi text of the Quran are to highlight the most significant icons of the period.
